Mom Fuming as Daughter, 13, Gets Chest Binder at School — And Is Urged Not to Tell Parents

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Maine mom has called for an investigation into her 13-year-old daughter’s school after she claims a social worker gave the teen a gender-transitioning device known as a “chest binder” and encouraged her to keep it secret from her parents.

Amber Lavigne, of Damariscotta, told the National Review that she found her daughter’s chest-flattening garment in December and confronted the teen, who claimed a friend gave it to her.

“I want you to think long and hard if there’s anything else you want to share with me about this because I am going to reach out to your friend’s mom,” Lavigne said she told her daughter.

The girl then admitted she got the device at the Great Salt Bay Community School, where she had been reassigned to a new social worker, Samuel Roy, according to the outlet.

But school officials never informed the mother and Roy never reached out to her, according to the National Review. (Read more from “Mom Fuming as Daughter, 13, Gets Chest Binder at School — And Is Urged Not to Tell Parents” HERE)

Not One Student Was Proficient In Math In Major City’s Schools: REPORT

/0 Comments/in , /by

In 23 Baltimore City Schools, zero students tested proficient in math in 2022, according to a report by Project Baltimore.

Through an analysis of 150 Baltimore City Schools, 23 of them, including 10 high schools, eight elementary schools, three high schools and two middle schools, no students met math grade-level expectations, according to a report by Project Baltimore. Approximately 2,000 students took the state administered math exams that tested proficiency levels.

“It just sounds like these schools, now, have turned into essentially babysitters with no accountability,” Jovani Patterson, a Baltimore resident who sued the district for not properly educating its students, told Fox 45 News. “This is the future of our city. We’ve got to change this.”

An additional 20 schools in the district had no more than two students proficient in math, Project Baltimore reported. Another three schools in the district, which are for incarcerated students and students with disabilities, had no students that met grade-level expectations.

Approximately 7% of third through eighth graders at Baltimore City School met grade level expectations in Math in 2022, according to the Maryland State Department of Education. (Read more from “Not One Student Was Proficient in Math in Major City’s Schools: Report” HERE)

‘It’s Hard No Matter What’: Christian Actress Says Cancel Culture Can’t Force Her to Back Down

/0 Comments/in , /by

Great American Family actress Candace Cameron Bure made it clear that she’s not going to let cancel culture influence her choices, saying that while she realized facing backlash for her personal views could be “difficult,” it was nothing compared to what Christians faced in other countries.

Bure joined Wednesday’s episode of the “Unapologetic with Julia Jeffress Sadler” podcast, and she addressed the fact that critics routinely attack her for voicing her conservative Christian views — particularly in the film business.

“Cancel culture is real, and it’s difficult, and it’s hard,” she said, but she immediately pivoted to point out the fact that people outside the United States faced a much more difficult situation if they wanted to preach the Gospel.

“I know there’s all the places in the world, all different countries, where people get severely persecuted for their faith. I feel like we’ve had this cushion here in North America where someone yells at us or someone says a mean, negative thing and our feelings get so hurt over it,” she said, adding, “And that isn’t nearly the persecution that other people go through from being a Christian in other countries.”

Bure went on to say that she did not intend to allow critics to change her, arguing that it was even more important for Christians to stand up and stand firm in their beliefs when they were faced with backlash.

Report: Lia Thomas Exposed ‘Male Genitalia’ in Locker Room Following Swim Meet

/0 Comments/in , /by

Riley Gaines, a former 12-time All-American and SEC champion swimmer for Kentucky, says that transgender swimmer Lia Thomas “dropped his Pants” and exposed “male genitalia” in the women’s locker room following swim meets.

Recalling her uneasiness after being forced to change in front of a man, Gaines told Fox News she wants the NCAA to establish separate locker rooms and changing areas for transgender athletes.

“We were not forewarned beforehand that we would be sharing a locker room with Lia,” Gaines explained. “We did not give our consent, they did not ask for our consent, but in that locker room, we turned around, and there’s a 6’4″ biological man dropping his pants and watching us undress, and we were exposed to male genitalia.”

Gaines continued, “That, to me, was worse than the competition piece. Not even probably a year, two years ago, this would have been considered some form of sexual assault, voyeurism. But now, not even are they just allowing it to happen, it’s almost as if these large organizations are encouraging it to happen.”

Gaines went further by adding that by nominating Thomas for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award, the organization was playing an active role in encouraging played an active role in encouraging other male athletes to identify as women and subject female athletes to unfair and awkward circumstances.

6-Year-Old Student Who Shot Teacher Allegedly Had Violent History, Once Choked Teacher

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 6-year-old student who shot his Virginia teacher last month has a shocking history of violence, including one instance in which he allegedly choked another teacher. . .

Abby Zwerner, the first grade teacher who was shot, has filed a legal notice that informs her school district that she plans to sue over the incident that nearly killed her.

That notice revealed shocking incidents the troubled 6-year-old student had with his classmates and other staff at Richneck Elementary School.

According to the notice, the student had a history of cursing teachers and students, once tried to whip his fellow students with a belt, and even choked another teacher “until she couldn’t breathe,” the Associated Press reported. And the day before the shooting, he allegedly destroyed Zwerner’s cellphone.

That unnamed teacher, who was choked, confirmed the incident in an interview with the AP. (Read more from “6-Year-Old Student Who Shot Teacher Allegedly Had Violent History, Once Choked Teacher” HERE)

A Healthy Economy Won’t Matter in 2024 if Our Kids Are Mutilated and Families Broken

/0 Comments/in , /by

Previous political cycles have emphasized the primacy of national economic health. But what good is a healthy economy if the people of the nation have been physically mutilated and spiritually destroyed? What must have primacy this political cycle is the health and well-being of the American people, especially the health and well-being of the children of our nation.

To that end, Donald Trump just announced a plan for if he is re-elected as president, called the “Plan to Protect Children from Left-Wing Gender Insanity.” His plan includes an executive order overturning Biden’s so-called “gender-affirming care” policies. With this order, Trump intends to halt all federal programs promoting transgender transitioning “at any age,” which he rightly calls “chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation.” Furthermore, Trump will ask Congress to pass federal legislation outlawing child sexual mutilation in all 50 states.

Trump promises to strip hospitals and health care providers of federal funding via Medicare and Medicaid if they participate in such child mutilation. He also promotes striking back at left-wing doctors and Big Pharma by creating avenues to sue doctors who have conducted these procedures on children and ordering the Department of Justice to investigate Big Pharma for possibly covering up known side effects of “gender transitions.”

Trump takes aim at the promotion of radical gender ideology in schools too. He explains that teachers who suggest to children that they might be “trapped in the wrong body” will be liable for civil rights violations and the stripping of federal funding. Trump promises a new credentialing body for teachers that will promote education celebrating the nuclear family, the positive roles of mothers and fathers, and the differences between men and women.

Finally, Trump says he will ask Congress to pass a bill establishing male and female as the only sexes recognized by the U.S. government, fixed at birth. That bill would also clarify that Title IX prevents males from competing in women’s sports.

Mom Demands Investigation Into School That Hid Her Daughter’s Gender Transition, Provided Chest Binders

/0 Comments/in , /by

A mom is demanding an investigation into a Maine school district that allegedly hid her daughter’s gender transition and provided the 13-year-old girl with multiple chest binders, according to a letter by the Goldwater Institute.

Amber Lavigne allegedly found that Samuel Roy, a social worker at Great Salt Bay Community School, gave her 13-year-old daughter two chest binders to aid in a gender transition and advised her to not tell her mother, according to a Monday letter by the Goldwater Institute. The Goldwater Institute on behalf of Amber Lavigne is asking the school district to investigate the incident and institute a policy that mandates parental involvement in all decisions that affect a student’s mental or physical well-being.

“[My daughter] was going to school all day and getting kind of love bombed by all these people being called by the supposed preferred pronouns and this name that was not given to her at birth,” Lavigne told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Then she’s coming home and being called a female name and using she/her pronouns, and it was really driving a wedge between us and I had no idea. I feel like my parental rights were violated and I don’t understand how somebody who works in social services thinks that driving this kind of wedge between a student and their parents is at all helpful for their mental health.”

School officials allegedly called Lavigne’s daughter by a male name and pronouns without notifying or receiving consent from her parents, the letter alleged. The Great Salt Bay Community School principal and superintendent dismissed Lavigne’s concerns that the school was helping her daughter secretly transition after she found the chest binders in her daughter’s room, she told the DCNF.

A Transgender ‘Mother’ Who Has Two Transgender Kids, Advocates For This State to Become a ‘Trans Refuge’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Woke Minnesota lawmakers are seeking to make the state a “trans refuge” that would allow transgender kids and their families to receive gender-affirming care.

First introduced by Rep. Leigh Finke (D-Minn), the legislation, HF146, “would make Minnesota into a trans refuge state by protecting trans people, their families, and medical practitioners from the legal repercussions of traveling to Minnesota to receive gender-affirming care.”

The bill is designed to provide life-alternating sex change procedures to minors who live in states that restrict gender-affirming care.

It would also prevent law enforcement from removing a child from parental custody that Republican-led states have ordered.

Finke, who is the first openly transgender person to serve in the state legislature, said the bill is a desperate “need” for her community. (Read more from “A Transgender ‘Mother’ Who Has Two Transgender Kids, Advocates For This State to Become a ‘Trans Refuge'” HERE)

Leftist Logic: Adoption Is More ‘Traumatic’ Than Abortion, but Surrogacy Is Just Great

/0 Comments/in , /by

The delusional leftists arguing that adoption is more “traumatic” than abortion aren’t making a convincing argument for their brutal baby death cult, but they are making a great point against the rise of surrogacy as a means for clients such as gay and “transgender” males to achieve their personal parenting fantasies.

Just look at some of the arguments that Elizabeth Spiers, who was adopted as an infant, advanced in a 2021 New York Times essay about “the trauma [adoption] can inflict” and why abortion is a better solution all around. (She’s not the only one pushing the talking point, either.)

“While pregnant, [mothers] will undergo the bonding with a child that happens by biological design as an embryo develops into a living, breathing, conscious human,” Spiers wrote. “And then that child will be taken away.”

In an abortion, the child — who is a living human from the beginning of pregnancy, and is taking practice breaths by 10 weeks and developing “brain connections that stimulate memory, decision-making, [and] emotions” by 15 weeks — is also “taken away” from his mother. It’s just that, instead of having the chance to grow up in a loving family, the child’s lifeless body is discarded into a bucket of medical waste.

Mothers experience natural physical and emotional bonding with their unborn children, and abortion doesn’t erase that. It’s one of the reasons many women experience abortion regret. (Read more from “Montana Officials Deny Viral Midair ‘Explosion’ Video Amid Concerns Over Chinese Spy Balloon” HERE)
